Pekin's Ruby Hack is a ROM Hack of Pokémon Ruby that I've made. As far as ROM Hacks go, it's not the biggest overhaul out there, the storyline and everything like that is still just Pokémon Ruby, as far as I'm concerned. The main feature of this hack is the "Fakemon", which I suppose is the right word. I've created (as of now) 177 original Fakemon of my own design and - more or less - succesfully implemented them in this hack and removed all encounters with "real" Pokémon. The only real Pokémon you can encounter are Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza which I left in for the purposes of the story in Pokémon Ruby.

All the rest of the "Pokémon" - or Fakemon - are the ones that I've created. This means that you may have no idea how certain Pokémon evolve, what types they will gain, (or lose) what moves they are able to learn, what their stats are like, etc. And that's why i decided to make this wiki. Because I, for one, like to know how to use the Pokémon I'm playing with. Maybe you don't, but if you do, I figured this wiki would be helpful.

Welcome to the Pekin's Ruby Hack Wiki

This wiki will contain info mainly on the different Fakemon found in Pekin's Ruby Hack.

Check further down the page for a download link. This ROM Hack is my first ROM hacking project, and honestly, it's a little rough. My new hack, Fakemon FireRed is way, way better, more polished, higher quality, more features and overall, I think, a much nicer experience. This hack is alright, I guess, but there were a lot of ideas I gave up on and a lot of half-baked concepts. The idea was to completely remove any and all legit Pokémon and replace them with Fakemon. I didn't quite get there, but I certainly did in Fakemon FireRed! Which, again, is the one I think you should be playing. A couple of Fakemon from this hack appears in Fakemon FireRed, too.

This hack is as finished as it's ever going to be, so don't expect any more updates. And again, check out Fakemon FireRed if this in any way appeals to you, it's really a lot better.

What to do if the hack doesn't work for you

If you run into any issues with the hack, here I've made a tiny little "FAQ" section, (only without the actual questions left out) because it seems most people who have messaged me have run into the same issues.

  • Make sure you're using the .ips patch provided in the above download link.
  • Make sure you've patched the .ips onto a clean Ruby ROM. I have seen people patch a newer version of my hack onto a .gba file that had already been patched with an older version. This will mess your ROM up.
  • Make sure you're using the correct Ruby ROM. This is by far the most common problem I've seen, because there are quite a few different Ruby versions out there. If you find a version called "Ruby (U) v1.0" or something along those lines, it should work.
    • Because the "Ruby (U) v1.0" version is practically impossible to find anywhere by now, I've made a new patch, which should work with the "MUGS" version of Ruby, which is allegedly easier to find. I haven't tested this patch other than to check that the game does, in fact, start. See above for the download link to the new patch.
  • As a last resort, feel free to message me on reddit, and I'll try my best to help you.
